29th August 2009 - Wine Enthusiast Killerman's Run
89 pts - Kilikanoon 2007 Killerman's Run Shiraz-Grenache
Like virtually all of the Kilikanoon wines, this is creamy-soft in texture, suggesting immediate drinkability. Black cherries predominate, but complexity is found in the wine's hints of mint, coffee, vanilla and baking spices. Two thirds Shiraz, one-third Grenache. More >

28th August 2009 - Wine Enthusiast Covenant review
92 pts - Kilikanoon 2005 Covenant Shiraz (Clare Valley); $40.
Like all of winemaker Kevin Mitchell's Shirazes, this is full-bodied and lushly textured. The point of difference here is the fruit character, which leans toward black olives and espresso, with just enough stewed fruit to provide cushioning. Finishes long and velvety, hinting at vanilla More >
